Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
If you can swing the budget a bit higher, and get the student discount + flip free ipod touch, a Macbook Pro 13" would be perfect for you. If not, you can always get the older unibody Macbook 13" on eBay for about $900ish.
12-14"? Check. 13.3"
Multiple OS's? Check. My friend is using Visual...
The one with the 9400m is substantially better than the x3100 Air. They are almost two different machines.
The Rev. A MBA (x3100) has a slow PATA interface for the HDD compared to the Rev. B MBA (9400m)'s SATA interface.
The Rev. A MBA also uses MiniDVI, sometimes have core shutdowns from the...
Much better than the Intel x3100 in previous macbooks by far.
And when I mean great, I mean native resolution, all medium. 30+ FPS. Good enough for me for some casual gaming considering the IGP nature of the GPU.
Sure, it doesn't compare to my 8800GT at 1920x1200 Very High, but I have less...
That's a late 2008 screen like mine. Its made by AU Optronics. Apparently, it's suppose to be better than the 9C89.
I still use my Dell 2407wfp-hc when I get a chance. Watching a movie on the macbook screen is turning my body into a tripod -- if I move up or down, I can't see a thing. =)
You can use coconut battery to tell you the age of your mac.
From System Preferences, if you go to Displays->Color
Click Color LCD
Click Open Profile
Go down to mmod
And see the value in the model section.
I have a 9C89, which apparently is the worst one, but still looks great to me...
The newer Macbooks have marginally better screens than the ones released in Late 2008. I have a Late 2008 and with the correct color profile and viewing angle it looks fine. Otherwise I have to depend on my external PVA panel when I really need to get stuff done.
I went from a SR 15.4 MBP to a 2.4 uMB and I'm really enjoying the change. While stacked on top of each other the size difference isn't really noticeable, but once you pick up the machine there's a world of difference in terms of how rigid the Unibody construction really is. I'm also a fan of...
